    @myg124
    even the R15's have quality Clip-ons i believe.Anyway hope the pic of the CBR is just a one off mistake.

        BlackZMR: Do you work for motorbeam by any chance??

        The ZMR against the CBR sold abroad( now thats a quality coat) and our Indian counterpart.

            Even I had observed it, but knew it must have been damaged due to over tightening at the time of assembling in Thailand or India.. It is a Display/Demo Bike not the final product so please don't judge Honda by this bike. Here is a image which was recently shared by a Delhi Xbhpian and all seems fine to me.



            PS. The bolt you have pointed out has got nothing to do with the Clip-Ons.

            • Harry: I know the bolts different, but I am referring to the entire clip on unit. But the image you posted, looks good. Concern is it doesnt match up to the market. I can compare an aftermarket clip-on set with this. Hope the final product is good enough. Look at the ZMRs. Thats quality!

                Yes, the CBR's entire clip on holder unit looks simple but decent. The ZMR's clip on set has an upper hand on quality, no doubt.

                But I am sure many people will look at more positives of the CBR as a whole package when they decide to buy it over ZMR, R15

                    For Aargee: It gets this unit only for India I guess.

                    Again we go back to comparison? Well, yes in this pic it looks kinda tampered with. Waiting to see it in person. If this small thing is a problem, I can as well put a bolt cover on top of it, and hey it looks beautiful.
                    Humble request to stop comparing yet. Let it get into market, into hands of prospective buyers. Then lets compare. No offence intended.
                    Now what are the updates for the day? Any updates in Bangalore?

                      It is okayish to me on the quality front. But yes, its something that can be ignored when you look at an overall bike. I still want it to match the bar set by ZMR. Its like you look at it and sey, hey this ones better. Doesnt matter( one place where cost cutting has taken place) but on a comparo scale it does. Nevertheless. CBR FTW!

                      • Is it because the CBR250R clipon has plastic that it could have come out. Also since the above bike seems to be in Malad, the first one in India to be on display many people would have tampered with it.

                        • Tyre choices for people who will be getting the CBR.

                          Here are some tyre choices which fellow riders would want to upgrade to in the near future. These tyres can be made available at your local known tire shop. I got a few Michelins here, the only problem being, the rear size available starts from 150/50-17, not 140/50 which is the stock. Not bad for having good rubber under you ha! The front matches up though. Same problem with Pirelli & Bridgestone, front ones are available but rear's not.

                          The CBR tyre size is 110/70-17 M/CxMT 2.75 for front and 140/50-17 M/CxMT4 for the rear.

                          Have a look here:

                          Anakee. Resembles the Sirac. I guess the rear size is available with this one.


                          The Pilot road. Loved this one.

                          • I went on the ride today again today the real test was done on her. The real power and the beast came out of this beautiful machine. In the 4 gear I touched 110 km/hr. She was with me for full half an hour alone with 1 lt. filled in her tank. Amazing but at the end of the day i had to take her back to the showroom I even got her home, to show it to family. Well have decided as mom was saying not to go for this color rather go for the gray one as this one looks bad and dad gave me more money for the abs version. Hence the re booking has been done for the beast another few more days for the bike with the abs version to come. So will wait and more over my Pulsar has done only 1 year and 3 months old so I can wait. i will let her off and not pick the red color and wait for the abs version with gray color will wait for it.

                            Here are some more pictures of today i.e. of sunday 17/4/2011 time 13:00 hrs.

                              • one thing which really concerned me after ripping her for a while she smells and the c and h meter came to the middle also. Like in car when we switch on the air condition.
